If a hadith is reported as mawquf by three trustworthy narrators and as marfu' by two of the most reliable among them, including Shu'bah, do we say that the marfu' report is an addition by a trustworthy narrator?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. As for what follows, this is one of the tapes from the Hidayah wa al-Nur series of scholarly lessons and legal rulings by our Shaykh, Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani (may Allah preserve him). We ask Allah to benefit everyone with it. Now, we are with tape number one hundred and sixty-one.
Here on the "Voice of Children" program, and the child says: "It is me."
The Shaykh : Is it you or your brother?
onAl-Halabi : Our Shaykh, the hadith "Upon you..." contains the 'an'anah of Ibn Ishaq. In the mawquf report, Sufyan's narration from Ishaq naturally contains 'an'anah and ikhtilat (confusion). Shu'bah followed Sufyan in his narration, and the defect of tadlis (concealment) remained, as did the paths of Shu'bah's tadlis. This is because Shu'bah said, "I have saved you from the tadlis of three," and he mentioned Abu Ishaq al-Sabi'i. So now, the defect of ikhtilat and the defect of tadlis are gone. Is it not said that here, the mawquf report from the three trustworthy narrators, along with the mawquf report from two of the three trustworthy narrators, and the marfu' report from two of the most reliable narrators, including Shu'bah, constitutes an addition by a trustworthy narrator, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This falls under the rule: if the mawquf report is preferred by the majority, then it is the stronger position, and vice versa.
onAl-Halabi : But my teacher, I mean, is it not said here, for example, that Shu'bah is like Shu'bah, and he is in a high position regarding the preservation of the marfu' report, and so is Sufyan? Those three are also... and they may be less trustworthy than Shu'bah and...
The Shaykh : No, this is a difficult relative matter...
Al-Halabi : Except after careful consideration?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
Al-Halabi : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And to you.
